The same letters ofrel'ereniie indicate the same parts in all thefigures.

' lrl nmrahino will give the ."han 'c most lre Q. quc-ntly required [orone dollar, with the action of one or two levers, and to give any'pensivc, whiie having the new feature fitted. to receive.

' form adapted to receive a inner ,change requires the use of only one,two or three lovers out of a total of only ten levers.

This makesthe, machine simple and inexs of 3 showing the coin deliveredat each e15 and also the total amount of coin delivered from each tube.

The machine is especially adapted for railways and public places,through its coin de livery receptacle, which instantly-drops all;

coins within it into the hand operatingit.

The framework of the machine consists of uprights A at each side of themachine, andv o horizontals C B J, and the top indicating hoX T betweenthe uprights, all made of wood or metal and suitably fastened. together.The plate J has six holes lcfitted to receive the coin tubes L, andprovided with flanges to hold the tubes perfectly upright, andwith setscrews (1 to keep them in position. 4 coin tubes are arranged to hold.centpi'eces'in the right hand'tube, five=oent pieces in the next tube,ten cent pieces in the tweedjoih ing tubes, twenty-five cent pieces inthen'eiit tube, andfifty cent pieces in the left hand tube. The tubesare'cut away in front-above the supporting flanges, so that theirc'ofi'itents may be visible, and so that they may be 'fill'ed by tippingthe coins slightly. Each tube has a collar upon it to prevent itsslipping. Under each tube is a slide E, Whose central part is thethickness of the ooin'the tube is by which the slides are held. in placeupon the.

table B. Each slide has a hole y in it adapt- The edges of the slidesare thicker and are slotted to fit the guides b l),

a new coin will clro ireely'into the hole 1 and the edgeof this ole y inthe slide should he beveled, so that only the central ,art of the edgeof the ooin'slide E will stri-ie the coin, as shown in l6. Thei'rontedge of the slide E may project above the slide in-a the hand by whichthe slide may li'ae'witnd aw ito amp its coin, and a v -in'g S is seen;d .othe slide and to the tableto return. the sl de. i have shown theedge of the slide E rejecting fore ward in two ears I) b, which avebetween them a friction roller a; and the lever H whose upper end isprovided with a finger pull h..

the levers H and to pieces h projecting,

above the plated to return the levers after they have been withdrawn bythe finger. The lever H is not necessary, but is advisable when the cointubes D are long.

It is evident that the hole "2/ in the table B may be placed behind thetube D, and the coins dropped by pushing the lever back and ad'ustingthe spring to ush it forward By pulling the lever attac ed to the slidecon-- taining five cent pieces, one will be dropped through the table.By pulling the lever attached to the next slide containing ten centpieces, one will be dropped. To obtain fifteen cents I provide a lever Hbetween those directl in front of the coin slides and near the topextend'the lever in both directions by cross pieces e e, one of whichfits against the piece 6 on the slide E under the five cent tube, andthe other fits against the piece e onthe slide under the tube holdingten cent pieces. It is evident that when the lever H .with the pieces ee is drawn forward that the slides under the tubes holdin five and tencent pieces will move forwar and drop fifteen cents.- .In the same waythe" lever between the two-tubes holding ten cent pieces will droptwenty cents, that between the tubes holding ten cent pieces andtwenty-five 1 cent )ieces will dro arm K entering the tube, and thusdropping thirty-five cents, and that etween the tu es holdingtwenty-five cent pieces and fifty cent pieces will drop seventy-fivecents. The upper ends of the levers H are-formed into finger pulls itupon which I stamp the value of. the coin delivered by the lover. Iprefer to place the finger pulls for the levers actuating two slideshigher than those upon levers moving only one slide. At the right of thetube for live cent pieces, lgplace one or more tubes for cent pieces.wenerally in simple machines I prefer to use one tube, and obtain morethan one cent by repeating the movements of the lever. It is evidentthat the principle of my machine may be applied to a greater numberofcoin tubes so as to produce any desired change from one dollar, by theaction of one lever only. i

To prevent motion'of the slides E when the tubes 1) are empty, I out ahole d through thei lower end of the tube D, adapted to permit theroller 0 attached to the pivoted the outer end of the arm K so thatitcatches u on the projecting edge e" of the slide E.

hen the coins fill the tube above the level of the roller'cfthey holdthe arm K above ssaaco the locking arm ld against the screws. This chutehas a central opening in'its lower surface, and is so 'formed'as to dropall the coins falling into the chute from this one opening, so that theymay be readily caught by a hand placed belowit. I preter to use,however, a receptacle designed to receive the coins as they drop fromthe chute F, and to hold them until they are dropped into the handplaced below the bowl and acting on the discharging mechanism.-- Thechute F may have its discharge opening for the coins in the center} bothways, as shown, or it'may be placed at either side and in thecenter'from front to back, or the chute may be extended forward so as todeliver the coins at any desired distance in front of the coin holdingtubes, and instead of the chute dro ping the coins into a coinreceptacle closed by the'sliding gate, this gate may be fitted directlyto the end of the chute F, and operated by the motion of the tube Lwithout departing from the spirit of my invention. This coin holdingdevice may consist of a simple hollow tray or dish, capable of beingtilted and of sliding the coins within it into a hand placed below it,

but I prefer to use a bowl and a discharging mechanism, consisting ofahollow tube whose lower end is ada ted to fit the palm of the handsnugly, an which is capab.

that the coins fal from it into the tube.

e of .motion and of opening the bowl above,so

I have shown the tube L in the form'of a hollow tunnel having flanges Lat" each side, secured between the parts N 'N, which I form a yokesupporting the tube .IJ .by means of the screws n. The'inner screw.n'has atcollar m uponit to prevent too great re'ssure. upon the glassflan es. '1 have s own a doe that the coins'witliin it may be visible,and I prefer to make the tube L of glass. The bowl Gis held by straps Mand M encircling its upper edge andgrooved to fit the thickened edge ofthe bowl, and secured together by the screws 91/. The strap M has itsends bored to fit upon the bolts '1 n which are screwed into the base V.The bolts n n have about them tubes 0 0.: The lower portions of thetubes being larger than the upper, serve as supports for the yoke N,which has its ends bored to slide freely upon the upper parts of thetubes O 0. tubes 0 0 support the straps M and M and when the bolts n nare secured tight, a rigid frame is rodueed. The lower part of the bowlG made of g ass so The back of t e bowl G is cut away, and the its edgewith metal. The upper part of the I "wheel C5.

tubes.

- shallow trey P, which the weight extendin the strap M downward tosup-- orttheimwer port of the bowl G and ire-tine shutter? is carriedout and rests over the bo-cl; of the yoke N, so that when the hand liftsthe tube L the yoke N lifts the slide Y and allows the coins in the bowlG to fall into the tuhc ii. To insure oil the coins being held by thehand applied at the lower end of the tube ii, may place upon the loweredge of the tube a soft rubber collar L with e yielding edge sdcptcd toconform closely to the hand. U on the yoke Ncnd about the tubes 0 O ipllice spiral springs m to insure quick return oi the tube, and underthe yoke are washers Z ofrubbcr or leather to soften the. fall. Toinsure the slide Y closing the opening after it has been lifted by theyoke, e. bolt Z is passed through the to of the slide Y into the yoke N,and a. spiral spring K placed noon the bolt Z.

ihe details of this coin delivery bowl in-re unimportant, as they maybeerrangcd in various ways, so to empty the upper bowl G through motionof the tube L below it, or of suitable carts connected thereto, and Ibelicve the principle involved is en tirely new.

To register the number of coins delivered, c meter it is sttscl'icd tothe table under each tube, with suitable means for registering upon itthe passage of coins from the tube above. 1? desired, one ureter may heso cdjustcd as to register all the coins fromnll the The meter it issupported between two plates 1}" F which are secured to the under sideof the table l3, and which support the spindle o. This spindleextendsoutside the plates F under the slide E and has upon it a weighted levercarrying at its outer end 3. I keepsin a horizontal position under theteblll B, until a coin falls into it, when it rotates with. the weightof the coin until the balanced finger W has lifted up one tooth of thesjuoclrct By means of the screw 61' the motion oi the lover may bestopped so us; to secure the motion oi exuctl; one tooth of theSliQGliGt and the tray P is formed as to drop the coin when one toothor" the sprocket has been revolved.

To indicate the dro 'rping of the coins by such action oi the lovers, iprovide or box i extending across the top of the machine. its-case msybc oil wood or n'icicl. At the trout and back or". this case T areopenings p, which may be covered with glass. Within the box. a slidingshutter v is placed at one sice, and just behind it another r, andupon'thcin the some "figures are placed. The shutters r r arc connectedby a bar 1", end the her carries a vertical spring 15" having a hook. rat its upper end adopted to catch upon the bar 'The bar f is adapted toY a scuare drurn i is a spiral or helical spring i slide in suitableguides, and is held in position in them above 10 book 1 by springs fbearing on the case '1, and the edge of the rod The bar f has two slotscut in it adapted to receive the wedge-slumped ends oi the push rods UU. Those ends also bear in slots cut in the bottom of the use T, and notin line with those in. the barf, so that when the push rods U U arelifted up, the bcrfwill be moved, and release tho hook r, and drop theshutter. When the rods U U are dropped, the springs f return the bar toits position over the hooks r- The shutters r r" are lifted by means ofcords a, which run over the pulleys g and i and ere attached to 6 es eiro'ectim from the levers H. When the shutters r r are held up by thebar f, the figures upon the shutters are visible through the o cnings utthe front and the back of the box '1, and thus both cashier and buyersee the figures which tell the coins which have been dropped throu h thechute F. into the coin bowl G. This oowl being of glass and its contentsvisible, the directions printed upon the base V to obtain the coins by)lncing the hand be low the holder, and pushing it upward, are readilyunderstood and carried out.

The push rods U U are secured to tho mow able yoke N which holds thedelivery tube 9 and moving upward with it thoyreleu-sc the shutters sothat the some motion which delivers the coins causes all the shutters todisappear from sight. When one tube is used to deliver one cent pieces,it is necessary to show the figures l, 2, 3, or 4-, according to themotion of the slide which drops one, two, three or four cents. For thispurpose a. sin: tter 12, with a s ")ring catch t secured to it is used,and lifted up to show the drum behind it by a pin .9", which projectsfron'i'tho drum zfi and. pushes the shutter up as the drum rcvolvcs. Thedrum 6 has tl1efigurcsl,2, 3, 4,

upon its surface, which may be in the form of prism to receive thefigures. Vrithin t secured to the rigid arbor of the drum, and its innersurlcce, and tending to revolve the drum upon its arbor. This drum 2*has iittcd upon its outer surface a hollow cylinder i uduptcd to revolveupon the drum i, and con tcining a spring secured to its inner surfaceand the outer surface of the drum 2%, and udu pted to revolve the outerdruin upon the inner one in the some direction that the inner one isrevolved by its spring. The drum 6 has at one end the ratchet s, inwhich the pew] engages, and rcvents revolution ox ocpt in one direction.'l lic outer drum i lHLS wound upon its outer surface acord or? attachedto the lover operating the slide under the tube containing the centcoins. l/ Jhm this lcvol' is drawn. out, tllc'cord turns the drum 1'.and by means of a spring pawl if. attached to the drum 3 cndworking intothe ratchet s it turns the drum 6 and lifts the shutter n" and displaysthe figure 1. The next motion shows the figure 2, the next the figure 3and the next the. figure 4. When. the figure 4 is shown,

5 the pins comes. against the stop s", and prevents further motion. Whenthe coins are dro ped into the hand, the motion of the pus rods U Umoves the barf which strikes upon the pawl 25 and lifts it from theratchet s, and drops the shutter 11/ and allows the drum t to return toits original position. The push rods U U may be straight rodsextendingup through holes in the chute F and table B, or they may bebent as in the figures, in which case the one shown in Figs. 14 and 15is shorter than the other, and the barf is extended downward to meet itby the'piece f. The coin receptacle under the chute F may be used in allplaces where change is required without the delivery machine shown aboveit, to the great advantage of the public, as much time is now lost inpicking up change, coin by coin, when gloves are worn, and 1 believe thedevice shown is a new article of manufacture to be claimed broadly.Having described my invention what I claim is i- 1.
